Python

1. In your working directory, create a file named chat_space_delete_app.py .

2. Include the following code in chat_space_delete_app.py :

     from 
     
    google.oauth2 
     
    import 
    service_account 
    from 
     
    apiclient.discovery 
     
    import 
    build 
    # Define your app's authorization scopes. 
    # When modifying these scopes, delete the file token.json, if it exists. 
    SCOPES 
    = 
    [ 
    "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/chat.app.delete" 
    ] 
    def 
     
    main 
    (): 
     
    ''' 
    Authenticates with Chat API using app authentication, 
    then deletes the specified space. 
    ''' 
    # Specify service account details. 
    creds 
    = 
    ( 
    service_account 
    . 
    Credentials 
    . 
    from_service_account_file 
    ( 
    'credentials.json' 
    ) 
    . 
    with_scopes 
    ( 
    SCOPES 
    ) 
    ) 
    # Build a service endpoint for Chat API. 
    chat 
    = 
    build 
    ( 
    'chat' 
    , 
    'v1' 
    , 
    credentials 
    = 
    creds 
    ) 
    # Use the service endpoint to call Chat API. 
    result 
    = 
    chat 
    . 
    spaces 
    () 
    . 
    delete 
    ( 
    # The space to delete. 
    # 
    # Replace SPACE with a space name. 
    # Obtain the space name from the spaces resource of Chat API, 
    # or from a space's URL. 
    name 
    = 
    'spaces/ SPACE 
   ' 
    ) 
    . 
    execute 
    () 
    # Print Chat API's response in your command line interface. 
    # When deleting a space, the response body is empty. 
    print 
    ( 
    result 
    ) 
    if 
    __name__ 
    == 
    '__main__' 
    : 
    main 
    () 
    
   

3. In the code, replace the following:

   • SPACE with the space name, which you can obtain from the spaces.list method in the Chat API, or from a space's URL.

4. In your working directory, build and run the sample:

    python3  
   chat_space_delete_app.py
